Configuration Factors Airflow Requirements HP rack-mountable products typically draw in cool air through the front and exhaust warm air out through the rear of the rack. The front door of the rack, therefore, must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the rack, and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow the warm air to escape the rack. Do not block the ventilation apertures. Fan Kits If additional cooling is required, fan kits can be used to draw heated air from the rear of the rack, out through the top. Blanking Panels If the front of the rack is not completely filled with components, the remaining gaps between the components can cause changes in the airflow that adversely affect cooling within the rack. Cover these gaps with blanking panels. 2-8 HP 10842 Rack Reference Guide
